Everyone washes there hair on a regular basis but are you doing it properly?
Most people get in the shower wet thier hair, shampoo,, rinse condition and rinse again, but very few people will know that they are not doin it right, infact you could be damaging it by doing this.
Before you start to wash your hair you should always comb it, just to be sure there is no tangles before you wet the hair. Wetting the hair when it is tangled will make the tangles worse making it practically impossible to comb and will result in bad split ends.
Once you have combed your hair wet it thoroughly with warm or cold water, the best option would be to use warm water which opens the cuticles of your hair so you can wash out any oil or dirt.
When apply the shampoo always put it into the palm of your hands and rub them together until it goes foamy, then massage it into the scalp. You should not apply shampoo to the end of your hair because this dries out your hair causing it to weaken and split. DO NOT rub the ends of your hair into your scalp when shampooing because this will also tangle your hair.
Once you have done this rinse off with cold water which will close the hair cuticles and give it a nice shine.
More than likely your hair will need a second shampoo beacuse the first wash is to remove the oil and dirt and the second is to treat your hair.
Before you condition your hair squeeze away the water so the hair is just damp not dripping wet, apply a small amount of conditioner to the ends of your hair and place in a shower cap for several minutes, then rinse it off completely.
